Today I pulled the parts. There are going to be 15 sets that will include the main ORIGNAL. Arc head and cr123a twisty.
A cr2 twisty

The yaesumofo clicky.

I have copper heatsinks for them as well .
The jury is still out on the copper parts.

In any event they look as cool today as they did 5 years or so ago.

A cool improvement would be to have ORIGNAL clickie tails too. I did not have any of those when the chrome plating work was done. Oh well.
The mofo tail is a great replacement
I'll send a set to milkyspit. Let's see what he comes up with.
Anybody have any interesting ideas?
Let's hear 'em.
Yaesumofo.

Re: ARC LS modification Project IN CHROME!!!!!

I don't think it needs to be anything over the top, something more useful perhaps. L/M/H w a neutral XM-L, even a neutral XP-G would be nice. Should run on a primary or RCR, but I'd rather not have to use an IMR so the drive current shouldn't be too high.

Perhaps if James can give us an idea of what the host set will cost, we can better judge how much we have left to spend on making the actually work. Not looking to make this a $500+ Arc, so a simple LE may be the only option.

Agreed. Let's keep this reasonable. The shell is an updated (chrome) classic and should be a classic with some improvements. We have a million hot rod lights out there to choose from if that's what we want in terms of performance.

I have high hopes for what all of you can do with these beautiful chromed parts.
The hard chrome is beautiful and will last and last.

I hope there is enough interest for me to sell all of these sets (less than 20).
My wife is encouraging me to sell them off. (if she only knew how much actual time, gas, and money I have into this project.
The copper for the heat sinks was ridiculously expensive.
I have always been fair about how I have priced the projects I have sold here. These sets will be no exception.
BUT BE WARNED. They will not be inexpensive. I wish I could afford to give them away but I can't.

Still interested???
Have a great day and watch this thread for updates regarding the sale of these fine hosts.
